Is that an athletics, acrobatics, or dexterity check?

It's an attack action, specifically a grapple. The attacker (police officer) would use Athletics against the opponents Athletics or Acrobatics check.

In this case, I would also state that the person being grappled has disadvantage on the check, as the officer passed his stealth check and they have their back turned to him, while also focused on balancing on the fence.
